The Friends of St Andrew’s Park [ FoSAP] is a group of people who love our beautiful Park and want to actively help in its protection, enhancement, and greater biodiversity.
Since it was created in 1895, St Andrew’s Park has seen many changes, both in what it offers and the community it serves. It is one of the most intensively used parks in Bristol and provides an invaluable haven for both local people of all ages, as well as a range of popular attractions for the wider community.
FoSAP works closely with the city council. In recent years, with funding for local councils having been greatly reduced, the role of FoSAP, as with many park groups across the city, has become more important in both raising funds and delivering schemes that the council no longer has the resources to do.

A key role for FoSAP is in bringing together and coordinating the areas of volunteer work necessary to maintain the many ongoing plant and landscape projects. If you want to find out more about volunteering opportunities, contact us through this website, the St Andrew’s Park Community Forum Facebook page, or look for notices which occasionally appear in the Park.
News Flash. With Spring nearly upon us, look out for The Tree Trail, established last year, and enormously popular Volunteering at the Community Food Garden, Perennial flower beds, and the pond
